Cheese with Domdechant Werner'sches Weingut wines

Spundekäs Local tradition German Wikipedia says Spundekäs is classically eaten with white wine and served in practically every wine house and Straußwirtschaft of the Rheingau. It names no grape; these dry Rieslings, light to medium in body, are our examples, their high acidity cutting the cream and onion. Dry white wine (light to medium-bodied dry Rheingau Riesling), Rheingau: Hochheimer Riesling Trocken Ortswein
Hessischer Handkäse Our pick Apple wine is the usual drink with Handkäse, and German Wikipedia names dry white wine for areas such as Rheinhessen and the Palatinate. A dry, high-acid Riesling meets the onion and vinegar marinade with acidity of its own. Dry Rheingau Riesling (light to medium-bodied), Rheingau: Hochheimer Riesling Trocken Ortswein
